<font face="tahoma, sans-serif">Howdy, HackerMoms. Since last week...</font></div><ul><li><font face="tahoma, sans-serif">San Francisco Magazine came to interview us for at least a blurb-worthy piece.<br></font></li>
<li><font face="tahoma, sans-serif">Construction for soundproofing the childcare room will happen next week, so that we can hopefully work in relative peace and quiet. Feel free to add your thanks to the donation bra or button. </font></li>
<li><font face="tahoma, sans-serif">Some new HackerMoms on the Peninsula have discovered us and now want to start a HackerMoms space in their area! Along with requests from as far as Portland, Florida, New Jersey, Tokyo and Norway. Long live HackerMoms! We'll get some guideline materials up for y'all. (But if you're in town, check out our workshop on "50 Different Ways to Run a Hackerspace" happening next week.) </font></li>
<li><font face="tahoma, sans-serif">Don't forget our ongoing Monday morning Art Date and Wednesday night Math Club in our <a href="http://mothership.hackermoms.org/events/" target="_blank">Events page</a>. (Words I never thought I'd say: Math club kickoff last week was so cool. We were tearfully convinced that with the help of Khan Academy and peer tutoring, even we could learn math! Join us? We start from 1+1.) </font></li>
<li><font face="tahoma, sans-serif">And while the babes slept, we pulled up the nasty industrial carpet from the main room to reveal the pristine Pergo below.

</div><div><font face="tahoma, sans-serif">It's a secret to everyone but mothers that baby-holding and nursing tweaks our bodies' spines, shoulders, hands and wrists, lower, mid and upper backs. Liz Gillem Duncanson, Physical Therapist, Athletic Trainer, Strength Coach, and Medical Yoga Provider, says, "In addition to the normal anatomical and physiological changes that happen during and after pregnancy, the actual movements of parenthood can cause aches and pains. The movement patterns of caregivers are unique and can cause serious distress on the body if not done functionally." Liz will show us the best ways to hold baby to prevent injury. Bring your real infants/pre-crawlers/babes-in-arms to participate, plus strollers and carriers for specific instruction with your personal gear and body. Tell your long-suffering mom friends.</font></div>
